Chapter 42: Baths are Underrated

Just like the cats, Toz was still tired, despite sleeping for several days straight. After having learned some tips when cooking, Charlie didn't mind him going to sleep a little earlier.

Toz slept like a baby with the cats huddled up on his tors until a couple of hours before dawn. He was a lot more energetic than he had been during the previous evening, and after saying good morning to Din started preparing breakfast for the entire group.

He quickly made a pot of porridge, and after eating his portion, he left it next to the campfire. Din also ate some upon receiving Toz's acknowledgment that he made enough for everyone. He couldn't help but comment on how it was better than what Charlie usually made.

After breakfast, Toz woke up the cats and gathered a change of clothes. When Din asked him what he was doing, he answered,

"I'm going for a swim."

"In the river? At this time?"
